PooR Priuce Ferdinand's lines were surely nor cast in pleasant places. He is the nominal ruler of Bulgaria, but bereft of all regal powers and almost of the re- spect of his subjects. He is in the position of ''counted in'' sovereign who is liable at any moment to be literally kicked out.

THE St Louis Globe Democrat pub fishes 8 long interview with Michael J. Power, mining expert of the Pacific coast and Sonora. The tale told is mar velous lie which would do credit to the imaginative genius of Eli Perkins or Tom Ochiltree. Mike Power is we'll known in Arizona-very well known. It IS one of his characteristic virtues to magnify his very few tame exploits into heroic deeds of bravery, and his empty purse into treasure vaults whenever he can find an ear willing to receive his story. The Globe Democrat was badly sold, but it weaved magnificent story from the tangled tissue of falsehood told if

sleeping Alone.

It is very much healthier to sleep alone. The unhealthfulness of two persons occu- pying the same bed very much depends on the physical condition of either or both. If one is diseased, injury to the other is sure to result. The practice is unhealth- ful because the exhalations from the body of one come in contact with and are ab- sorbed by the skin of the other, and be- cause each one must, of necessity, breathe some of the air which has been breathed by the other, and consequently rendered impure-Herald of Health.

TIE frnits of the Feast of San Auaus- tine at Tucson have so far inventoried the death of one person, entailing the expiation of heavy penalty for the crime by his murderer. The shadow of death is ever present at these fessts of sin where the worst passions of human kind are openly and publicly indulged under the guise of pious anniversary. The character of these gatherings should be changed or abolished.

Accident to General Miles.

A Los Angeles dispatch of August 30th, says:-The carriage containing Gen. eral Nelson A. Miles and party while crossing the railroad just outside of town this afternoon was overturned and Gen eral Miles had the ankle bone of his right leg broken, besides sustaining severe bruises He was removed to the Arcadia hotel. The team ran away after the accident and one of the horses was badly injured. General Miles injuries will probably keep him in bed for some time, so that the sword presentation at Tucson will have to be postponed.

The unfortunate accident that befell General Miles will necessarily postpone the presentation of the gold sword that was to take place next Monday, and it will be difficult to set time when the presentation will take place. The post ponement will detract from the enthusi asm that had been worked up and the occasion will be..robbed of much of its spirit and attraction.

or chance to look at visitor, he is either
placed in dark cell and given gill of
water and a small slice of bread daily,
with a stone floor for bed, or he is taken
to the guard-hOuse and strung up by the
wrists. One dose of the latter medicine
generally lasts the convict some time.
The punishment is one in which
the offender is hung up by the wrists by a
catgut cord. BY his side stands the prison
doctor. who holds watch in his hand and
keeps his eye on the face of the convict
After hanging a minute the fingers turn

breast. At the instant he is let down on

person, can stand it to be hung up over two
minutes. and no keeper will go Oh with the
punishment unless the physician is stand

is made by the state for the return of an
escaped convict and the Frenchmen who
live in that locality always keep sharp eye

Every Saturday every convict is allowed
plug of tobacco and pound package of
smoking tobacco. These plugs are used the
same as money, and if a convict wants a

young. and has the same hopes, as do all
the cOnvcts. that he will soon be pardOned.
His cell is covered with Brussels carpet
and upon the wall hang expensive pictures,
all with the object of making the unfortu-

IN DANNEHEORA PRISON.
Daily Routine Life of a Famous Penal
Institution


At present there are 731 cOnvictS con-
fined in Dannemora state prison, with terms
ranging from one year to life sentences.
OF the latter there are thirty-fve. Upon
the arrival of a convict. says the Albany
On. " Argus. he is taken into the main
office. where his name, age, nativity, etc.,
are asked him and placed in the prison re-
cords. He is then searched and everything
found upon him is placed upon table; next
he is taken into another room where he is
thoroughly examined by physician. He
is then placed in bath and thoroughly
washed. Then comes the prison suit, which
consists first OF a heavy shirt made Of bed
ticking, pants and coat made OF heavy gray
material with black stripes, and cap of
the same material The shoes are OF
heavy, durable kind (warlanted not to
'crack.) Arrayed in these garments the
convict is assigned to his cell, and the next
day after his arrival is given certain work.
The clothing worn by the convict to the
prison is never returned to him, but when
his time expires he is given a suit made at
the prison and a reasonable amount of mon
'ey to carry him to his journeys end. No
newspapers are given to convict, but all
such sent by friends are stopped by the
deputy warden and carefully placed in a
waste paper basket. Occasionally religious
paper is given to them. and even the most
hardened criminal in the institution reads
every word in it, not with the intention of
receiving any benefit. but simply that it is
a newspaper and came from the outside
world. The cOnvicts are still employed in
making clothing. A market for these
goods is found in the far west and south
west, and about four hundred suits are
turned out daily, which are guaranteed to
''fit like the paper on the wall" At the
workshop the men are allowed to talk with
those working alongside of them, but in a
low tone of voice. Const quently. when a
new arrival comes in, the following ques-
tons are always put to him: Hello. John
ny, what's your name? How long are you
in for? and what's the racket" (meaning
his crime) Then he is questioned as to the
events in the outside world. His answers
are passed up and known the long line of
tables. and soon every convict in the prison
has his pedigree" At G:3O a. m. the pris-
on bell is sounded and all hands make ready
for their days work. Breakfast is served in
the cells. after which they are marched to
the WORKSHOP, where they remain until
11:45. They then march to their dinner,
which is placed in pans, and return to the
shop where it is eaten. At six they enter
the cells, and soon after lights out" is
sounded. and they retire. A certain
amount of work is laid out for each man
for the day. and three fourths of them are
able to finish it by three or four o'clock in
the afternoon, after which they may return
to their cells for the balance of the day.
When marching to and from meals or work.
